ANHA correspondent in the city of Homs reported the death of the child, Lilas Salim Al-Assad, who succumbed to her injuries several days after being wounded in an armed attack that targeted her along with members of her family in front of their home in the Al-Muhajireen neighborhood in Homs.

Unidentified gunmen riding a motorcycle opened fire using a silencer at a woman, her husband, and their daughter while they were standing outside their home near Al-Thawra School in the Al-Muhajireen neighborhood. The attack resulted in the death of the woman and injuries to the husband and the child, who later died from her wounds.

This crime comes amid the continued state of security instability affecting areas under the control of the interim government in Syria.
